Welcome to Education Alliance for Life Chances
A partnership bringing together Bradford’s schools, health services, police, the Local Authority, voluntary services, universities, faith leaders and business to tackle childhood inequality and improve social mobility for all, hosted by Bradford Birth to 19.
Our Journey So Far
Since 2018, the Education Alliance for Life Chances has grown from a time-limited programme into a lasting, cross-sector partnership committed to system-wide change. What began with the Bradford Opportunity Area has evolved into a bold, place-based strategy to improve outcomes for all children and young people.
The timeline below captures key milestones in our development — from early foundations to the strategic decisions that shaped EALC’s vision, governance, and long-term mission.
